i thunk so

Major league baseball lost me a long time ago…with all their strikes and miscellaneous crybaby nonsense from both owners and players, it’s clear that the fans are the last thing on their minds. Every one is in it for himself. At least in the minors, players are trying. It’s also more likely that you’ll get your money’s worth at a minor league game. If you’re lucky, you’ll also get to see a manager lose his mind, like Phil Wellman who manages the Mississippi Braves.

…and my Dad were a “professional LEGO sculptor,” that would be pretty cool.

I do not have an exact count, of course, but a conservative estimate would be that I have half a million (500,000) bricks in my working supply. I have probably used another 300,000 bricks in various projects and models (some of which have gone to clients, others are used in the prototypes about my place). The vast majority of my pieces are standard bricks and plates… probably only about 5% of my supply are ’specialty pieces’ of some type.

I think this one falls into the “Irony” category.

I don’t think were too many tears (except the ones clowns paint on their faces) when this story hit the news ticker.

Yes, some people have the guts to do what most of us only dream of doing.

At least this site doesn’t pretend to hide the fact that today’s classiest women are really only in it for the money. I guess if you’re a loser with the ladies who happens to have stashed away a little coin, this might be the place for you. I’ve no doubt that only the truest of true love awaits you heavy hitters who happen to make $100K+ a year.

I always like a b-lister who doesn’t take themself too seriously. David Hasselhoff scores major points with me in this awesome new music video.

If ever there were a worthy cause we can all get behind and support, this is it. Our favorite Saved by the Bell cast member, Screech (that’s correct….NOT Tiffani Thiessen), apparently had nightmare showbiz parents who wasted every red cent their kid had left over after paying Uncle Sam.

Now, he’s about to lose his house to foreclosure. What can we do about it? Hopefully someone can do a Save the Children parody infomercial soon. In the meantime, please contribute to a great cause.

Some advice to Dustin Diamond…be sure to report your rake from this campaign as income.

Probably not the most portable storage media, but these memory stick sticks (not a typo) will bring you back down to earth.

Here’s something I would have expected to come from the bowels of Dixie on this side of the pond, but the Brits have beat Billy Bob to the punch.

Sprayonmud can give you instant off-roader credibility, and also pulls double-duty as a way to obscure your license plate from speed or other traffic cameras.

I’m a little late to the Halloween party with this one, but I still found it humorous in a nerdy sort of way.
